History

The mall opened in 1974 with anchor stores Sears and Kaufmann's. [3] The Kaufmann's store was the first in the chain to be located in a shopping mall. Goodman Company, a real estate company owned by Murray H. Goodman, built the mall. A 1975 expansion added 25 more stores and a third anchor department store, Ashtabula, Ohio-based Carlisle's. [4] An original tenant, Zales Jewelers, won a design competition in that chain upon opening. [1] JCPenney opened an anchor store in 1983 in the former Carlisle's location. [5]

Beginning in 2000, the mall was significantly rebuilt. Sears moved to a new anchor building on the north side, [6] while JCPenney moved into the old Sears location, and the old JCPenney (originally Carlisle's) was demolished for construction of a huge Walmart, which opened in 2002. [7] In 2006, Kaufmann's was renamed Macy's. [8] Sears closed in 2016. Macy's closed in 2017. [9]

The Kohan Retail Investment Group purchased Fort Steuben Mall for $10.75 million in December 2018. [10] They would sell it in 2022 to Brookwood Capital Partners. [11]

In early 2022, Brookwood Capital Partners acquired the shopping mall from the previous owners. [12] Despite attracting new businesses to the mall, Brookwood Capital auctioned it off after only one month. [13]

In 2025, 7 Ranges Entertainment Center opened in the Former Sears.
